The blind man watched a group of people go up the mountain, and his dull eyes seemed to reveal an incomprehensible light.

"Sister, you follow me. ”

Ye Han has gone up the mountain many times, but this time because Ye Han also followed, he was extra verbose. Boss Ye is tall and stout, but he is meticulous, and he doesn't forget to tell Ye Miao when he takes a step, and the tall and big man suddenly nags like this, no wonder he is not adaptable. Ye Leng never spoke, but just followed Ye Miao's side and let her walk in herself.

In this era, there was a general shortage of materials, and the same was true of Sweetwater Village. Although the wind and rain have been smooth in recent years, they will not be hungry, but everyone is working hard to earn work is to mix a full water, if you want to fight the tooth sacrifice and eat something good, most people can only wait until the Spring Festival, August and a half such New Year's Festival.

Although the conditions were difficult, and I knew that there were some wild things on the mountain of Sweetwater Village, not many people came up to the mountain to fight. Maybe it's the blind man's words: "Everything has a spirit." Perhaps the legends about the revenge or revenge of spirit beasts that have been handed down for many years make people awe. In short, no matter how hungry the people of Sweetwater Village are, there are few people who have the idea of hunting wild things in the mountains.

This mountain is located at the back of Tianshui Village, presenting an encirclement shape, which looks a bit like a half-lying cow sleeping soundly from a distance, so the locals also call it "Sleeping Cow Mountain" or "Sleeping Cow Mountain"

The altitude of Woniu Mountain is not very high, and it is not very difficult to climb up, but Ye Miao was still wheezing when he climbed halfway. This body is too weak, and she has only turned her face from pale to ruddy after raising it for so many days. Because of this, Ye Miao thought about exercising more in the future. People who have not experienced illness will not understand her desire and cherishment of a healthy body at this time.

"Brother, there are dead branches here, let's cut some back. ”

Ye Miao pointed to a small poplar tree that had died by thunder not far in front of him and said to Ye Han. At this time, there is no propaganda of "having fewer children and planting more trees", and the trees in the village are also owned by the collective, and the larger trees naturally dare not drag them to the house, and no one will care about such small branches and small strips.

"I know, you're watching right here, beware of the branches scratching you. ”

Ye Han didn't let Ye Miao pass, and he took Ye Leng to cut down a tree into branches by dividing it by two, so that it would be tied up when the time came. Ye Jing and Ye Chen glanced at each other, buried their heads and walked into the depths of the forest. Ye Jing will dig out some bird eggs when he has nothing to do, and occasionally hunt a little rabbit. There is nothing taboo about these, it's just that the rabbits in Sweetwater Village are much more clever, and others can rarely hit them. It's okay for Ye Jing to take a leather slingshot and walk this way.

Ye Miao stopped Ye Jing: "Didn't you say that you are not allowed to hunt, third brother, if you want to eat meat, I will let my mother make some pork." ”

Ye Jing and his sister laughed: "Dig out some bird eggs." ”

"Then you remember not to go inside, and don't fight when you see the yellow wolf. ”

The yellow wolf is a weasel, some people worshiped Wong Tai Sin in the past, but later although the four old ones were broken, no one beat the weasel, and everyone had a sense of awe. There are also foxes, and most of the people in Sweetwater Village will turn a blind eye to the fox and let it go. Strange to say, the weasels and foxes on this mountain rarely come down to steal chickens to eat.

"Got it. You follow your big brother and don't fall behind. ”

Ye Chen glanced at Ye Miaoxiao and wanted to ask her if she wanted to dig winter bamboo shoots with them, but when she saw that Ye Miao's eyes were full of three brothers, she just walked inside without saying a word.

The reason why Ye Miaoxiao came with him was not to catch wild things to improve his life. She wanted to see the honeysuckle, and she wanted to see if there was anything like kudzu, and as for the wild wolfberry, even if there were, it could only be found in the spring.

At this time, the Woniu Mountain was yellow and barren. The mountain in the depths of winter is like a half-bald old man, with a brown scalp exposed, powerlessly giving people a glimpse of its scarcity. Ye Miao looked for a while and was not interested, just waiting for Ye Han and them.

After Ye Han finished cutting the branches, Ye Jing and Ye Chen came out of the woods, holding a brown thing in their hands.

"Ground eggs?"

Where did this come from?

Ye Han looked at the things in Ye Jing's hand with some surprise, this look was not dug out of the ground, it seems that someone went up the mountain and threw it here,

"There's a lot of eggs. ”

The potatoes here are called ground eggs, and ordinary people do not plant ground eggs in their own land, because the ground eggs grown by the climate and soil here are getting smaller and smaller year by year, and in the end they become small pimples.

"Found in the cave in front of you. ”

Ye Jing shook the bag in his hand: "There are still many miles in it." ”

"I don't know whose it is, so let's put it back. ”

Ye Han has a straight temperament, and he will not grow on the mountain if he sees it early. It must have been someone who secretly put it away.

"Since these people secretly put it away, it is definitely not a righteous and bright way. It's okay, let's take it back,"

Ye Jing glanced at Ye Chen behind him: "How much am I here, you see Ye Chen has more in his hands." ”

Ye Miaoxiao raised her head: No, Ye Chen even brought things and burlap bags to others.

"Are you going to take someone's nest or what?"

Ye Han spread his hands helplessly: "Let's chop branches honestly, don't be greedy." ”

"It's okay, you can take it, I'm familiar with this master,"

Ye Miaoxiao thought of the place he went to a few days ago, and glanced at Ye Chen thoughtfully, but he didn't speak. Ye Miao thought that there were only Chinese cabbage and pickled vegetables at home, and these were not often eaten. I wondered if I could dig some wild yams or winter bamboo shoots, and it would be good if there was konjac or kudzu.

A few people didn't go inside, as for the place that Ye Jing and Ye Chen said, Ye Han didn't ask. It was Ye Leng, who glanced there twice and then withdrew his gaze.

The mountain in winter is different from spring, stepping on the rotten branches and leaves, squeaking and walking for a short time to see a bare honeysuckle, and Ye Miao does not need to use his hands, Ye Han dug out the soil in three or two clicks, and Ye Miao went to look for winter bamboo shoots again.

Winter bamboo shoots are hard to find hidden in the soil, perhaps it is hidden too deeply, so the taste is thicker than spring bamboo shoots, and the people of Tianshui Village like to come here to dig winter bamboo shoots when they have nothing to do, and the most they do is to blanch the bamboo shoots and then dry them. Ye Miao's luck was good, she dug one up in a short time, she threw the shovel after digging a few times and was about to uproot it, Ye Chen walked over.

"Let me do it, what can you do with your little arms and legs. ”

Ye Miao is not angry, and he can't do anything with this kind of person with a poisonous mouth. She has never ignored Ye Chen and followed him, but this time because of Dong Zhu, she said one more sentence: "You pay attention, don't pull it out..."

As if to confirm Ye Miao's words, before Ye Miao's words fell, Ye Chen took half of the winter bamboo shoots and threw them to her expressionlessly. He dug up the remaining half again: "This will save you the trouble of chopping it in two." ”

Well, it's really impossible to get angry with him.

Ye Miaoxiao silently took the winter bamboo shoots and walked to Ye Han's side: "Brother, I'll go back in a while, I'll find milk and order pickled meat, and then I'll make pickled meat for you to eat fresh." ”

What pickled tuk fresh, I haven't heard of it. The principle of full food in the village is that they have never heard of those fancy foods, and as for the big dishes on the table, they have never eaten them.

"Pickled tuk xian?"

Ye Chen answered again: "Will you do it?"
